‘NATIONALIST NAZIS’ _

S. African

Dear Editor:

[ would like to know if Mr. Doug Collins has ever set foot in South Africa.

If not, what right has he to state Opinions? If he has, perhaps he has only viewed the situation from the biased propaganda of the Na- tionalist government.

I am a ‘white’ third generation ex-South African. | am happy to say that | am now a Canadian and can hold my head high in the world. My husband, and millions like him, fought against racialism during the Second World War.

White South Africans who sup- port the Nationalist regime are no better than Hitler’s Nazis, well ev- ident now with white versus white clashes within the Nationalist par-

y.

They talk about black violence upon black — (incidentally spon- sored by the government, a fact well documented). The Nationalist government policy has always been ‘divide and rule’. | know, 1 lived there all my life.

I feel nothing but contempt for Mr. Doug Collins and a certain other gentleman from West Van- couver who recently wrote an open letter to the editor.

They live in comfort in their West or North Vancouver homes, safe from police raids in the mid- dle of the night for no more serious offence than having no ‘reference’ or ‘pass’ book, and merely wishing to live with their families.

I am a wife and mother and | felt shame in South Africa that my family lived together as a unit whilst millions of black South Africans are forced to live apart.

It is well known that the South African government spends five to six times more on a white child’s education than on a black child’s. Would Mr. Collins be out there protesting at the risk of his life for
